Partners and friends,
Greetings in Jesus’ name! This month we are featuring one of our church planters in Cuba. Due to the sensitivity of the nation, we have changed his name.
Testimony of Pedro
Pedro was born in the Central Region of Cuba in the early 1980s. He shares:
“I grew up in a family with a communist mentality and doctrine. Idolatry was practiced on my mother’s side and from a very young age, I began to practice it as well. I learned from several branches where they made me the director of the spiritual center for this witchcraft. In 2011, I moved to another town where I became involved in another cult. Not long after, I married but continued in witchcraft and sin.
Then a brother from a local church talked to me about God, and I began to question my direction. They invited me to a campaign where I accepted Christ and received the Baptism in the Holy Ghost the same night. Thank God, I received complete deliverance from the lifestyle I was living. My pastors discipled me, and soon I became a cell group leader and local evangelist. After training and experience, I joined Bridges for Life Ministries, where I now endeavor to win many souls to Christ and advance His name throughout Cuba. Thank you for allowing me to represent you and Bridges for Life Ministries.”
Website & Promotions
Bridges for Life is redoing its website. Thank you to everyone who has helped us so far! Our goal this year is to promote group mission trips for individuals or groups with a heart to take the gospel to the nations. If you attend a church, please consider sharing our website with your Youth Pastor, Lead Pastor, or Missions Director to help grow this part of the ministry.
